Psoriasis Treatment
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition characterized by thick, red, and scaly patches that can appear anywhere on the body. Our clinic offers comprehensive psoriasis treatment options to effectively manage symptoms and improve skin health. Our dermatologists specialize in diagnosing and treating psoriasis using advanced therapies tailored to each patient's unique needs.
Understanding Psoriasis
Psoriasis is an immune-mediated disorder that causes rapid skin cell growth, leading to the formation of thick, inflamed patches known as plaques. Key features of psoriasis include:
1. Red, Raised Patches: Silvery scales on affected areas, commonly on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back.
2. Itching and Discomfort: Psoriasis plaques can be itchy, painful, and prone to cracking or bleeding.
3. Chronic Nature: Psoriasis tends to be a lifelong condition with periods of flare-ups and remission.
Personalized Psoriasis Treatment Approach
Our dermatologists will assess the severity and extent of your psoriasis and develop a tailored treatment plan, which may include:
1. Topical Treatments: Corticosteroid creams, vitamin D analogs, retinoids, or calcineurin inhibitors to reduce inflammation and promote skin healing.
2. Phototherapy (Light Therapy): Controlled exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light to slow skin cell growth and reduce inflammation.
3. Systemic Medications: Oral or injectable medications, such as methotrexate, cyclosporine, or biologics, to modulate the immune response and manage severe psoriasis.
4. Biologic Therapies: Targeted biological agents that block specific immune pathways involved in psoriasis inflammation.
5. Combination Therapies: Customized treatment plans combining different modalities to optimize outcomes and minimize side effects.
